Kyrie Requests Trade from Cavs.

I hope Kyrie goes to Golden State.

Magic and Kobe at one time weren't the best player on championship teams either.

I'm saying he will never be the best player on a team that wins a championship. And he's no Kobe, or Magic.

Well I know one thing: @ChiefsLakers67 is going to be a happy man that LeBron is getting his life fucked up and will dancing perhaps like this

Kyrie to NOLA would be filthy too.

If I'm the Cavs, I'm targeting Dame, CJ.

Portland would have zero reason to be interested though.

What if Wall decided not to sign his deal?

Yowza.

Kyrie for Cousins.

Backcourt would be very small, but I think it would be a good deal for NOLA, and Cleveland isn't getting a better return.

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

Hey at least they got a ring out of it. If Kryie leaves, only hope Cleveland has is the Browns.

Now 2K need's to edit their cover.

A proven All-NBA player who is 25 for a 19 year old who has proven he is a really good passer with no handle in the summer league?

Yeah Magic would do that. Cavs wouldn't do that trade.

Would be bad for both.

I do not think Magic would do it. We already know who Kyrie is. He isn't a franchise player and he is paid a lot more. Keeping Ball gives you a chance at the following lineup next year:

Ball, Ingram, George, LBJ

Trading Ball for Kyrie means the best you an do is:

Kyrie, Ingram, 1 FA (George? Definitely not LeBron) and 1 more mid level type guy.

I would much rather keep the possibility of the first group, because they are title contenders. The second team wouldn't get out of the first round in the West.

Kyrie had a higher usage rate than LeBron last year.

I honestly don't know what Kyrie is thinking. But, I mean, we're talking about a guy that thinks the earth is flat, so....

Well I guess if LBJ is a real possibility that changes the calculus. That first team is a title contender insofar that any team that LBJ is on is a title contender. With LBJ it is barely a playoff team.

Everyone seems to be taking this to mean LeBron is definitely gone.

The reports that LeBron was shocked and devastated makes me think the opposite. Of course its a very real possibility... but I think if LeBron had his mind made up to leave already, he wouldn't care that much about Kyrie requesting a trade.

Unless he thinks this is his last year to win in Cleveland, and that it is a possibility. He still needs to rack up rings for the old legacy.

Knicks get Kyrie
Suns get a shitload of Knick picks
Cavs get Bledsoe and Melo

Yeah, I hear that.

I disagree.

Don't think he is 100% for sure, but he is upset because he was counting on 1 more year with Kyrie and he blocked a proposed deal involving Kyrie for Bledsoe earlier. Also, Kyrie has essentially said he is leaving because he doesn't want to play with James. That could be devastating to hear regardless of what he plans to do next year.

I was thinking Melo and Ntilikina for Kyrie.

Give Cleveland something for today and something for tomorrow.

For me, I think it's telling that Melo is not interested in going to the Cavs.

Those guys are all in collusion with one another.

Might he know something the rest of us don't?

Just for pure comedy reasons i would crack the fuck up if kyrie leaves lebron for miami

I said the same in the offseason thread.
